App for displaying different time zones with Alliance Auth



Time Zones

Installation

[!NOTE]

AA Time Zones needs at least Alliance Auth v4.0.0!

Please make sure to update your Alliance Auth instance before you install this module or update to the latest version, otherwise an update to Alliance Auth will be pulled in unsupervised.

Step 1: Install the App

Make sure you're in the virtual environment (venv) of your Alliance Auth installation. Then install the latest version:

pip install aa-timezones

Step 2: Update Your Alliance Auth Settings

Configure your AA settings (local.py) as follows:

  • Add 'timezones', to INSTALLED_APPS

Step 3: Finalizing the Installation

Run migrations & copy static files

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py migrate

Restart your supervisor services for AA

Once done, it's time to add all the time zone information, so you can define your own set of panels later. To do so, simply run:

python manage.py timezones_load_tz_data

(Optional) Public Views

This app supports AA's feature of public views, since time zones conversion is not any mission-critical information. To allow users to view the time zone conversion page without the need to log in, please add "timezones", to the list of APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS in your local.py:

# By default, apps are prevented from having public views for security reasons.
# To allow specific apps to have public views, add them to APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS
#   » The format is the same as in INSTALLED_APPS
#   » The app developer must also explicitly allow public views for their app
APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS = [
    "timezones",  # https://github.com/ppfeufer/aa-timezones
]

Note

If you don't have a list for APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS yet, then add the whole block from here. This feature has been added in Alliance Auth v3.6.0 so you might not yet have this list in your local.py.

Updating

To update your existing installation of AA Time Zones, first enable your virtual environment.

Then run the following commands from your AA project directory (the one that contains manage.py).

pip install -U aa-timezones
python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py migrate

Now restart your AA supervisor services.

Configure the Timezone Panels

Per default, there are 10 additional time zone panels that are displayed (see first image). If you want to change those, you can create your own set of panels in your admin backend.

NOTE: "Local Time" and "EVE Time" will always be displayed as the first two panels, no matter what.

Adjusting Time

You can easily adjust the time that is displayed for all timezones. This is useful for reinforcement timers or pre-planned fleets. To do so, click on the "Adjust Time" button below the time zone panels, and you will see 2 different ways to set a new time.

Adjusting Time

The first one is meant for timers, like reinforcement timers, anchoring timers or the like. Its maximum is 7 days, 59 minutes and 59 seconds into the future. That should cover pretty much all timers you can find in Eve Online.

The second one is best suited for pre-planned fleets. Here you can set a fixed date and time based on the selected time zone. The default selected time zone is "EVE Time" but you can change it to all the available options. Keep in mind the selected time zone is the one the time and date will be adjusted to. So if you are going to use it to plan fleets, it is recommended to keep this set to "EVE Time".

To set the adjusted time, simply click on "Set Time" in the row you altered. This will then adjust all time zone panels to the time you selected and will also alter the link in your browser, so you can share it with others directly.

Discord Bot Command

For this to work, you'll need to have allianceauth-discordbot installed, configured and running. (See this link)
